Blackburn isn’t good enough for David Beckham, no matter what Hughes says
It is not mere coincidence that Mark Hughes was asked the David Beckham question this week, considering that Manchester United visit Ewood Park tomorrow and Beckham is a former United player.
To be fair to Hughes, he’s not said that Blackburn are interested in him. In fact, his statement is quite matter of fact, diplomatic even. The Sun reporter asked him two leading, loaded questions and Hughes gave smart answers to both - doesn’t matter much though as the media has spun this as Blackburn showing interest in Beckham when it’s certainly not true.
First question - would Blackburn be interested in buying Becks?
Hughes answers:
“I think everybody would be interested in David Beckham. I am sure if he came on the open market, there would be a few people in the queue for him. He is an exceptional talent and has been for a long time.”
Second question - is Blackburn attractive enough to bring in big players like Beckham?
Hughes answers:
“There were a few in for Craig Bellamy and we got him.”
Apart from insulting his former Manchester United team-mate by comparing him to Bellamy (who is good, but not in the same class), Hughes has said nothing to indicate that Blackburn are interested in David Beckham. And that’s a good thing, because he’s too good to go there

What you on about mate? Blackburn are in Europe and have a very good squad. Becks is going through a rough part of his career and will surely make a change soonish. I follow the Spanish League and am a keen supporter of Nottingham Forest. But aside from the top four (who in my opinion won’t go for Becks), Blackburn are very much at the top of the next bracket. So what are you on about, they’re not good enough?
Beckham is quite a realistic choice for coming to Blackburn
I think that Beckham will come if Hughes is still manager €because hughes attracted bellamy and other players
Beckham at blackburn would also bring more fans to the games which blackburn need
i personally think its people like you who make it so the ‘top’ players only go to the ‘top’ clubs…of course blackburn are good enough to have a player such as david beckham, just look at their perofrmance yesterday in the fa cup semifinal…unfortunately the players dont go to clubs like blackbrun and bolton because they are seen to be less desirable places to go! also, your way of writing is very rude
Blackburn aren’t good enough for Becks? More like Becks isn’t good enough for Blackburn!
